Chapter 590: Separation
Min Yi looked at the patriarch who had aged suddenly, and he could not help but sigh and feel sorry for him.
"You have always hoped for a harmonious family and prosperity, and Master Kuan is a rare genius. If he were to leave the family, wouldn't the Cai family be..."
Regardless of whether others admit it or not, the current reputation of the Cai family depends entirely on Young Master Cai Kuan. If he were to leave the family, the Cai family would probably be squeezed out in the future.
Hearing Min Yi's reminder, Mr. Cai sighed softly.
"I have always wanted to integrate the relationship between the brothers and make the family prosper. Only by working together can we gain a foothold in this place. Unfortunately, each of the children is arrogant and no one is willing to submit to the other. The harder I try to bring them together, the more intensified the conflict between them becomes."
"Now that the brothers have fought each other, it's not Xiao Kuan's fault that he has resentment in his heart. It's because I, as a grandfather, have done a bad job and always let him compromise. It's also because I was too obsessed and delusional. I was unwilling to watch the Cai family's reputation of several decades be destroyed in an instant."
Mr. Cai held his cane and looked back at the door. The grandson who had been most attached to him never showed up.
Thinking of the bandages wrapped around his body, Mr. Cai's heart tightened and he took a deep breath.
"Xiao Zhao is actually a good kid, but he was pushed too much by the second brother and his wife. He always compared himself with Xiao Kuan in everything, which distorted his personality. I have been trying my best to correct him in the past few years, but now it seems that the effect is very limited."
The relationship between the brothers has become so bad that it cannot be repaired. If he does not make a decision, all his grandchildren will be destroyed.
Min Yi listened to the master's sighs and looked at his gradually declining body, feeling helpless.
"If the head of the family makes a decision, it will be a good thing for Xiao Kuan...If the family is divided, all his scientific research results will go with him, and the loss to the family will be immeasurable."
The Cai family was a wealthy family, but after Xiaokuan's parents passed away, several scientific research teams were disbanded. The Cai family's position in the capital was already precarious, and if Xiaokuan hadn't suddenly emerged, the Cai family would have been squeezed out of the circle long ago.
Come to think of it, the Second Master and his wife are not as broad-minded as the First Master and his wife. They clearly rely on Young Master Xiaokuan's ability to move around in the upper class, but they are jealous that he will surpass their own son and snatch the position of heir to the Cai family.
Alas, after all, it is the children without parents who suffer. When something happens, there is no one to protect them.
As the head of the family, he needs to be fair and consider the interests of the family, so he can only let Young Master Xiao Kuan down.
Over the years, Young Master Xiaokuan has suffered a lot because of the constant troubles in the second house. It is understandable that he wants to separate now.
How could Master Cai not know about Min Yi's worries? But his body couldn't hold on for much longer. Instead of dragging Xiao Kuan along, it would be better to remove him from the family vortex and give him a peaceful and free life.
He knew exactly what the second brother and his wife were thinking about, but unfortunately they were blinded. If Xiao Kuan was not around, the Cai family would only exist in name only.
"Xiao Kuan has already led two mature research teams, so he no longer needs to keep an eye on the two laboratories... But he has taken on the research projects left behind by the eldest brother and his wife. They are confidential and involve rare metals, so he cannot be careless at all."
"He wanted to fulfill the last wish of the eldest and his wife. I can't let family conflicts destroy him. Otherwise, how can I face the eldest and his wife in the underworld?"
This was the only thing he could do for his eldest grandson.
Min Yi: “…”
So that's how it is. The scientific research of the eldest and his wife is confidential, and only Young Master Xiaokuan has this ability.
For a while, Cai Kuan stayed at Dai Qing's place. In order to take care of the injured man, Dai Qing prepared nutritious meals for him in different ways every day. Anyway, it was just enough for two people, so she just needed some supplements.
Several people in Xingzhou knew about Cai Kuan's situation, and they came to visit him every now and then, and sent bags of supplements to Dai Qing.
However, the Cai family has not appeared since the old man left.
Until this morning, Min Yi came to the door with a brown paper bag, "Xiao Kuan, this is what the master of the family asked me to give to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Min."
Cai Kuan reached out to take it and opened it directly. He saw several documents and a land deed inside. He stared at them for a moment and nodded.
"Go back and tell Grandpa that I agree."
He just wanted to separate from that family. As for property, he never expected anything. He could get whatever he wanted with his own hands. He didn't need anything that came from the Cai family.
Min Yi looked at Cai Kuan's attitude and cleared his throat.
"That set of land deeds was specially prepared by the owner of the house for your parents when they got married. It was left to you as a thought."
"Well, thank grandpa for me." That was the only thing his parents left behind, and he would take good care of it.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Min Yi hesitated but couldn't help but remind him, "
The health of the Patriarch has been getting worse in the past two years. He is unable to do many things. Xiao Kuan should be more considerate of the Patriarch."
"Grandpa is ill? Then let the doctor take a good look at him. I won't go and cause trouble for him, so as to avoid any more disputes and trouble for Grandpa."
Min Yi was stunned, but when he thought about the second branch's jumping around in the past few days, he didn't object.
"Don't worry, I will convey your thoughts to the master. You should take good care of yourself and get well soon."
Ever since the head of the family had the intention to divide the family, the couple in the second wife have been like chickens with blood pumped up, jumping up and down, fearing that everything in the house would be given away by the head of the family.
The couple, who were usually not seen for several days, would hang around the owner every day, testing him, complaining, and making all kinds of embarrassments. It was not until the owner got really angry twice that they finally calmed down.
Afterwards, in order not to cause trouble to Young Master Xiaokuan, the head of the family left him the wedding house of the eldest master and his wife, as well as the two laboratories led by Young Master Xiaokuan.
Even so, the second master and his wife still tried to object, saying that the laboratory was the Cai family's property and could not be given to the eldest grandson alone, but the head of the family retorted with just one word.
He really doesn't even use his brain for the sake of profit. Apart from Master Xiaokuan, who can take over the laboratory project?
Can we count on Master Xiao Zhao? His laboratory has not had any outstanding scientific research projects so far.
Facing the owner's questioning, the couple blushed. Although they were unwilling, the laboratory was indeed useless if it fell into their hands.
Now everything has been clearly divided. We just need to wait for Young Master Xiaokuan to recover and hold a banquet to announce the matter, and then the division will be successful.
After Min Yi left, Cai Kuan put the documents into a brown paper bag, leaned back in his chair, curled his lips, and closed his eyes.
Dai Qing leaned against the door and looked at his calm face, speaking in a calm tone.
"I'll make you something delicious tonight to celebrate your freedom and happiness."
